The young Australian YouTube bike racing analyst Lantern Rouge and his Belgian counterpart, Benji Naesen, have been doing a series of podcasts together in which they speculate on this year's pro team strategies, e.g., how the various team members might be best deployed throughout the season. For instance, the two of them agree that Brandon McNulty will probably be sent to some lesser early-season races and maybe the Giro, but they think that the smart move would be to send him to the Tour and give their reasoning.
I've been listening to them while doing BigRingVR workouts. The workouts and podcasts are usually almost exactly the same length, helpfully.
